My Most Successful Gig to Date!

I have openly stated my goals were to travel and make people laugh. I accomplished both goals earlier this week. Not to brag but in showbiz terms - I killed!
It was a small venue and the client was unclear regarding his expectation for subject material. One of the traits I believe I possess is the ability to assess people and recognize their motivation. Only a couple of times have I been incorrect so I would say I have a sixth sense when it comes to dealing with people.
This client was jovial and smiled easily but laughing - not so much. He was one tough cookie but I was determined to find the way to get what I crave most, laughter.
It was obvious my regular material was not going to fit the bill. I had to dig deep and step out of my comfort zone and slide into physical humor. From the first moment it became apparent I had hit the jackpot. In the end, the performance was completely satisfying for both me and the client.
I am ecstatic to share a few minutes from my performance in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Let me know what you think!
